Seven’s Summer set for a Tennis Slam

Seven has released a comprehensive guide to it’s annual Summer of Tennis but good luck trying to squeeze it all in.

From the Hopman Cup in Perth and the Brisbane International, to Sydney‟s APIA International and the Kooyong Classic in Melbourne, all roads on Seven this summer lead to the first Grand Slam of 2015, the Australian Open.

For the first time, in addition to live and exclusive match coverage on Channel 7 and 7TWO, fans will be able to watch every tournament during the Summer of Tennis streamed live on mobile, tablet and desktop devices.

This online coverage will also allow fans to watch the match of their choice from any television court throughout the summer – as well as the Channel 7 / 7TWO broadcast.

When the action turns to Melbourne Park, Seven‟s coverage will be available through the PLUS7 service on Hybrid (HBB) TV – a first in Australian broadcasting.

Fans will also get to choose from up to seven broadcast courts at the Australian Open at any one time. And more than just live streaming, viewers will be able to catch up on match highlights, follow players on social media, interact with other fans and keep an eye on live scores.

So whether it‟s on free-to-air TV, the 7Sport app, at 7sport.com.au, or via Hybrid TV, Seven will this year deliver the most comprehensive and compelling coverage of the Australian tennis summer ever seen.

Once again the world‟s leading tennis experts from Seven‟s commentary team will guide viewers through all the action.
